Self-Knowledge Exercise Go to the web site http://www.authentichappiness.org, sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania’s Psychology Department. You’ll be required to register with an email address and make up a password. Under “Questionnaire Center,” scroll down to “Engagement Questionnaires" and "VIA Survey of Character Strengths.” Complete the exercise (allow 30-45 minutes) and print out the results for your Self-Knowledge folder.
When assigned, not now, draft an essay on self-knowledge and your top five signature strengths. The draft should be 250-500 words, typed double spaced. In the essay, name each of your five top Signature Strengths and give for each one a concrete and specific example of how you have used it. (NOTE: The chief way to lose points is not to give concrete and specific examples. Just saying "I know I have creativity because I always involve myself in creative projects" is not going to earn you any credit. A specific example would be a story of something you have done, written in a way that the reader can see and hear you doing it.)
